Severe storms likely in Philadelphia from Monday evening

Monday, August 7, 2023

Two rounds of severe weather overnight through Monday will bring thunderstorms, strong winds, and a possible isolated tornado to the Philadelphia area.

The first round of thunderstorms moves in overnight into early Monday morning. Those storms will likely produce lightning, thunder, and downpours. The second round moves in Monday afternoon and will have the potential for significant wind damage and even an isolated tornado.

Storms will develop from west to east of the Philadelphia region starting around 4 p.m. Top wind gusts of 70 mph are possible with these storms and flash flooding will be a risk as well.

If you have any outdoor plans late Monday afternoon and evening, it’s best to postpone them or move them indoors.
